Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports to avoid gaps or areas where children could become stuck or trapped.
Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with staircases or ladders, with angled ladders taking up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be a great way to maximize space in a small room. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can sleep side by side while enjoying their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially when you intend to use the bottom bunk for a playroom or office during the day.
The majority of bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons the ladder's height should not be more than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This is to prevent bumped heads while making sure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk isn't too high up.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style, consider choosing a wooden bunk bed with stairs. This will not only add a chic touch to your child's bedroom but also provide ample storage space for all the toys, books and other items they might require.
Some bunks also offer the ability to convert from a standard bed into an actual futon. This lets your kids use the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night for an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk is great if you have the room and your children are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface.
If you don't have enough space for traditional bunks, look into options like a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your child's' room, which leaves the room for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, so your children can complete their homework while in their bed. This helps them stay focused during the study period and encourages good habits.

Bunk beds can be a great solution for children who want to be able to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. A lot of our bunk beds have a ladder that makes it easier for children to climb up to the top of the bed. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which can be dangerous. Children should only climb the top bunk when they are able to safely do so. This usually happens at least six years old. age.
Many parents are enticed to buy bunk beds with straight ladders, we suggest selecting beds with angled ladders for added security and ease of use. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience and are also easier to grasp. To climb, kids bunk beds put their feet on the rungs one at atime and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. For added security, you should consider a ladder that has grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for kids to hold on to as they climb.

They have an edging around the staircase to provide additional safety. They also have a larger tread that stops people from sliding and falling. You can choose an item with built-in drawers to give it an appealing appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's room neat and tidy.
